Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight and I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host as we look back at the best creative endeavors from the Giant Bomb community! It was a bit of a quiet week on the site by the community. We only have three blogs to report on, though the number of discussion threads are at an all-time high! That said, please be aware the staff continue to explore their approach on how to continue their coverage during the pandemic. Also, to those of you who will be returning to school or have already done so; good luck. But with that out of the way, let's address the site-related housekeeping!
- Vinny has a pinned thread they are using to update the community on the archiving of video streams during the Lockdown. In that thread you can get his advice on which versions of the Beastcast have the best audio as well as how to ask him for advice on production issues.
- Some users are still saying they cannot play videos on Chrome! If that includes you and you have ublock origin or another ad blocker, update it and clear its cache!
- CORRECTIONS:NONE! I made no factual errors last week! Look at my works ye mighty and despair!
